Welcome to the Annual ICE Summer Workshop Series 2008!


Why a Summer Workshop Series?

We have listened to our members! Many of you expressed a need for additional professional development opportunities beyond the annual ICE Conference. We are offering hands-on workshops throughout the state that are presented “by members, for members” to help meet this need. Please take a look at this year's excellent workshop offering online or you may download a PDF version of them.

Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDUs)

ICE is an approved professional development provider through the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). We are providing 1 CPDUs per contact hour, as is mandated by ISBE.

Participants who leave sessions early will not be eligible to receive CPDUs.

Lunch and Refreshments

Lunch is not provided during full-day workshops. Please plan on bringing a sack lunch or going out for lunch during the designated lunch hour (full-day workshops only). In addition, most workshops will not have snacks and other refreshments, so plan accordingly.

May I Bring My Own Computer?

Each workshop description indicates whether or not you may bring your own laptop. If you choose to bring your own laptop, you are responsible for installing any required software.

The addresses of all workshops can be found in this brochure. Please consult a map or an online map service such as Google Maps (http://maps.google.com), MapQuest (http://www.mapquest.com), or Yahoo Maps (http://maps.yahoo.com) for detailed directions to your workshop.
